Located in the charming village of Calstock, Devon, this elegant pet-friendly cottage, known as River Cottage, offers stunning river views and accommodates up to five guests in three well-appointed bedrooms. The property is thoughtfully designed across three levels, featuring two double bedrooms—one with an en suite shower room and a private balcony—and a single bedroom with access to a terrace. Guests can enjoy a cozy living room complete with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen/dining area, a family bathroom, and additional utility facilities. The cottage also boasts an enclosed courtyard with a barbecue and a sunny paved area at the front, perfect for relaxing while overlooking the lush green landscape and the river.
River Cottage is ideally situated for exploring the natural beauty of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with numerous walking paths leading to attractions such as Cotehele House, a picturesque National Trust property just one mile away. The area is rich in history, having once thrived as a mining valley, and is now recognized as a World Heritage Site. Visitors can partake in various outdoor activities, including canoeing expeditions that allow them to experience the serene waters of the River Tamar while enjoying the local wildlife and birdsong that fills the air.
Calstock itself is steeped in history, with the impressive Calstock Viaduct standing as a testament to its past as a bustling quay for transporting tin, copper, and granite to Plymouth Docks. Today, it has transformed into a tranquil village with a vibrant arts scene, attracting musicians and artists from across Cornwall. Nearby attractions include Morwellham Quay, a living history site where guests can delve into the mining heritage of the region, and Cotehele, which features stunning gardens that slope down to the river, providing a perfect backdrop for leisurely strolls.
The cottage is equipped with modern amenities, including central heating, Wi-Fi, and off-road parking for two small cars. It is also conveniently located near local landmarks such as Dupath Well and Dartmoor National Park, making it an excellent base for family holidays or romantic getaways. While one well-behaved dog is welcome, guests are reminded that pets are not allowed upstairs and must be kept in the kitchen at night. With its blend of comfort, history, and natural beauty, River Cottage promises a memorable stay for all who visit.
